Reviewing the film for Cinema Canada, Marika Csano wrote that "It would have been easy for Lafond to be content with a static heroic tableau of Pierre Perrault hunting images. What makes Les Traces du reve interesting is that we watch Perrault evolve from beginning to end. Perhaps Lafond was aware that from the idealized opening portrait, Perrault increasingly becomes a vulnerable human being. Pierre Perrault is led to participate in his own analysis, questioning himself and his work. The conclusion is nostalgic, and has the feel of a despairing testament."[1]
The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 8th Genie Awards in 1987.[3]
